Re: opinions on non-match primers
This is personal opinion. First of all, I have been using Federal 210Match primers exclusively, for at least fifteen, closer to twenty years, except those that use small rifle primers and Winchester 8 and a half for 300WM.
I think performance of the match primers is damned near identical with plain vanilla 210 LR primers. I think I am wasting my money, but I don't care. I have no intention of using CCI, WW or anything else. But, I also think we are getting reamed for match primers, the only supposed difference is a strict quality control. I have heard they clean the production lines and run them at half speed using the most experienced, qualified operators. But, same ingredients, same finished product, with a theoretical degree of uniformity not seen in the regular primers. As far as I'm concerned, it's theoretical. I don't think the average shooter will ever suffer using a standard primer, without regard for the recent reports of metalurgical problems in WW cup material.
Short answer, you probably do not need match primers. Hello, fellow suckers. BB
